Turin, Apr 7 (LaPresse) – "Could Conte be an interesting profile for the national team? That is a prerogative that belongs to the federation president." This was stated by Giancarlo Abete, president of the National Amateur League, speaking in Turin at the Piedmont Region headquarters on the sidelines of the presentation of the 'Vinciamo Insieme' project organized by FIGC and LND. "I remember that when I resigned in 2014, the elections were on August 11, and at that time there was an issue regarding Conte's relationship with the club, so Conte was approached by President Tavecchio after August 11," Abete recalled. "I have to say that for what he did with the national team, he did well; our team at the European Championship was competitive, we were eliminated on penalties. Conte is a top-level coach, but I don’t need to be the one to say it."
